The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has resumed nationwide voter registration for the 2026 barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections (BSKE).
The seven-month registration period will run from October 20, 2025, to May 18, 2026.
The Special Register Anywhere Program (SRAP) will also be relaunched, allowing eligible voters to register at satellite Comelec sites, including airports, hospitals, and call center areas, even at night.
However, voter registration in the Bangsamoro provinces is suspended until after the inaugural parliamentary polls, though applications from Bangsamoro residents will be accepted and forwarded to local Comelec offices for later action.
Comelec Chairman George Garcia hopes to register approximately 1.4 million new voters for the upcoming elections.
